While sorting through my bookcase of children’s books, I came across this gem that I used to read with my children. Every year we looked forward to certain holiday books, and this was one of them. The Night Before the Night Before Christmas by Natasha Wing has a humorous charm to which parents and children can surely relate. Two days before Christmas and everything goes wrong. How will the family get ready for Santa in time? With mom sick, Dad saves the day, and the family time together is what matters most. The pictures, by Mike Lester, are fun, colorful, simple and add so much to the joy of reading this book.
